Clifford Ireland, NSRI Durban station commander, said; “On Monday 1 August at 08h03 NSRI Durban’s volunteer duty crew and the Emergency Services were activated following reports of a boat capsized in the surf line 150 meters off-shore of Virginia Beach.<\/p>\n
“NSRI Durban volunteers responded to the scene directly and we were preparing to launch our sea rescue craft MEGAN II when it was confirmed that all 3 men onboard the capsized boat had managed to get ashore and were safely on the beach.<\/p>\n
“NSRI volunteers, Police Search and Rescue members and Netcare 911 ambulance services arrived on-scene and the 3 men, all adults, a Londoner, a Mozambican and the skipper who is a Durbanite, were found to have sustained minor scrapes and they required no medical attention.<\/p>\n
“We assisted to right their boat which had washed ashore and the boat has been loaded onto their trailer and has been sent for motor repairs.<\/p>\n
“It appears that the boat was capsized by a wave while the men were fishing behind the breaker line. The men had launched at Vetchies, Durban Ski-boat Club, earlier in the day to go fishing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
